# One version of the reel, checked by the director

## One version instead of a choice

AI montage now delivers one version of the reel. The director used to build an alternative with a different script as well, but it came out weaker than the main one — that time now goes into a self-check. There is nothing to pick: when the montage is ready, the project opens on the **Editor** section with the finished reel. The **Pick a version** sheet and the button with the number of versions in the project header no longer appear after a montage.

A rebuild with new settings and a retry work the same way. The montage price hasn't changed — 24 tokens.

## The director checks the finished reel itself

Once the reel is built, the director reviews it the way a viewer will: in playback order, with what is on screen and what can be heard. It straightens out the logic and order of the clips and removes cut-off thoughts, and if the plan changed, the reel is built again. On the run card this is the **Polishing the cut** stage; in the Chat journal — **Director’s reasoning** **on the finished cut**.

## A faster montage

Slicer watches the frames while it transcribes the speech, and prepares the editor preview while the director is thinking about the edit. The finished reel arrives noticeably sooner.

## Earlier versions stay in the history

Every rebuild, retry, style change and export still adds a new version, and the earlier ones stay in **Media** → **History**: you can bring back any of the last 10 with **Make current** or by asking the director in the Chat — “bring back the previous version”.

## API and MCP

-   AI montage delivers one version: `versionChoice` is `null` after a montage, and the `project.version_ready` event doesn't arrive.
-   `POST /v1/projects/{id}/versions/{versionId}/choose` and the MCP `choose_version` tool now also make current any version from the history that has a file (`hasFile`) — for example, the reel from before a rebuild.
